The Coach House is stunningly situated in the
glorious grounds of Moor Park, an eighteenth-century listed country
house in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park. The beautifully
designed gardens make the perfect setting for an exceptionally
comfortable and very well-equipped holiday house for up to 6 people and
an infant. Visitors can enjoy the parkland, including the water
gardens, meadows and woods, tree house, trampoline and tennis court.
Fresh organic fruit and vegetables can be gathered from the immaculate
walled garden, and stabling is available for keen riders.

This three-bedroomed self-catering holiday cottage in the Brecon Beacons
was once, as its name suggests, the shelter for the Moor Park
carriages. Now a family holiday house, with every possible comfort -
from a top-of-the-range coffee machine to an IPOD docking-station and a
tuned baby grand piano, The Coach House has fabulous views over the
gardens, as well as the Black Mountains behind. Use of a new tennis court is included in the price, and visitors are invited to wander freely around the grounds, fields and woodland. There is an amazing walled vegetable and fruit garden,
where visitors can pick their own organic produce, and where the
resident peacock often struts his stuff along the top of the stone
wall. A black swan (the emblem of Moor Park), accompanied by ducks and
moorhens, occupies the peaceful water gardens at the opposite end. This is great riding country, and stabling/grazing is available for visitors' own ponies or horses. Wonderfulrides from Moor Park and up onto the hills provide an immense sense of freedom and space.

Downstairs, there is a sitting-room with a beautiful parquet floor, comfortable furniture, properly tuned baby grand piano and a flat screen TV; a dining-room with French doors to the garden; a spacious, well-equipped kitchen with kitchen table; and a shower-room with loo and wash hand basin.

Upstairs, there is a master double bedroom, a smaller double bedroom, a twin bedroom and two ensuitebathrooms.

Things to do around The Coach House

Moor Park is just a 5 minute drive from the lovely town of Crickhowell with its excellent food shops, cafes and pubs. You can get all your provisions here at the independently owned shops, such as Cashel's the butcher, where you can buy cuts of fantastic Welsh Black beef or local lamb. Just outside the town's perimeter, visit the Black Mountain Smokery at the Elvicta estate for their delicious hot-smoked salmon and other imaginative smoked offerings to feast on. The Brecon Beacons National Park
is on your doorstep with all the extensive activities on offer
(pot-holing, riding, wild swimming, fishing, walking, off-road biking,
climbing, canoing, paragliding - to name just a few).
